#SCSI Blues
Mark,
I had the same setup (and problems) as you. After struggling for a month
I finally gave up and sent the 1291 and the CD back to Creative. They told
me when I bought it that they would work together. They don't. I tried two
different models of CD reader and a hard drive on the 1291 and never got
any of them to work. I ended up buying a SCSI+ from Expansion Systems and
a Toshiba 3401 from Creative. The combo works flawlessly. You'll pay about
$150 more for the drive, but the double speed CD is amazingly fast. I had
the CDR-25 running on my A500 and it is slow as s**t. You are just one of
a long line of people on here that have had the same problems trying to
get the 1291 to work.
Best,
—Mike—
